Almost five years ago, we wrote about research saying men with deep voices were more persuasive. Science has moved forward though and now, women can also be more persuasive when using a deeper voice. Some call it a "sultry voice". New work tells us your voice doesn't have be a deep and resonant baritone to be persuasive—you simply have to lower your speech pitch over the course of your interactions with others to be more persuasive. And—it works for both genders! If you don't want to read the article itself, Scientific American has a nice summary that you can either listen to as a podcast or just read the full transcript.
Basically what the researchers did is recorded 191 undergraduate students (Canadian subjects, ranging in age from 17 to 52 years, 54% male) who debated in small groups about the equipment most useful after a disaster on the moon. [This is an old team-building exercise found on the internet under many different names but officially called "Lost on the Moon"] You are told you have crash landed on the moon and need to identify what items present in the spaceship will be most useful. The recorded discussions for the first study were held in same sex groups ranging in size from four to seven participants.
Researchers also did a second study online with 274 participants (ranging in age from 15 to 61 years and 60.58% female)—181 were recruited from a "large Canadian university and the remaining 93 participants were recruited from an online database of research volunteers. The reason for the second experiment being online was so they could be sure there were not visual factors interfering with persuasion by lowered voice pitch.
Results from both studies (that is, in person or online where the voice was heard but the person's appearance was not seen) were consistent. Those participants, both male and female, who lowered their voice pitch during the negotiations required to rank 15 items in order of importance for survival on the moon were seen as more persuasive and given a higher "social ranking" in the group than those who kept their voice pitch the same or raised it.
It is a victory for women. You do not have to have a deep baritone voice in order to be persuasive. It is more a matter of shifting tonal ranges for effect—just go into negotiations or discussion with your 'regular' voice and then, over the course of discussion, lower your voice. Of course, it's hard to recreate this finding in the real world since you are rarely negotiating in single-sex groups. On the other hand, it's an interesting strategy to try. Does lowering your voice during day-to-day decision-making make you more persuasive? If it does, you might try it in lower stakes situations at work and if it still works try it out in other situations as well!
Note: If at any point during your practice, you are challenged about "faking" a deeper voice—you may need a bit more practice! It can also be thought to connote silly dramatics when overdone.

It's tough to see the same old themes come up over and over again but—here we go again… Women who react emotionally are seen as less intelligent, but if they react in a "measured and manly way" they are thought not trustworthy. In other words, you can't win for losing.
"Men were rated as both more emotionally competent and more intelligent in general when they showed restraint. For women, however, the opposite pattern emerged, in that they were perceived as more emotionally competent and intelligent when they reacted immediately."
In other words, say the researchers, we expect men and women to act according to gender stereotypes and we are suspicious of those who fail to behave accordingly.
Participants in the first study (59 undergraduates from the University of Haifa in Israel—30 men and 29 women) were shown photos found to elicit both sadness and anger. Then they watched videos featuring different people allegedly reacting to those same images. Half of the actors reacted almost immediately (within 1/2 second) while others did not show an expression change for a second and a half. After viewing the videos of people reacting to the images, the participants rated each character for "emotional competence" and assessed their level of sensitivity, caring, and the appropriateness and authenticity of their reactions.
Men who paused for 1.5 seconds prior to changing their expression were seen as more emotionally competent. Women who paused were seen as less emotionally competent.
The second study (with 58 students) was much the same as the first but the participants also rated the perceived intelligence of the character in the video.
"Men who showed delayed reactions were perceived as significantly more intelligent than those who reacted immediately, whereas for women, delayed reactions resulted in less perceived intelligence."
The authors say that these results reflect the strength of gender stereotypes about women as "more emotionally volatile but also more emotionally competent" and say that when women delay their reaction to an emotionally charged image they may be seen as "strategic rather than spontaneous".
From a litigation advocacy perspective, this will be important when considering the impact of male and female witnesses, for preparation of parties, and even for attorney behavior in the courtroom. You are always being watched and evaluated. Assumptions are going to be made for better or worse.
Help jurors see your female witness/party/self as thoughtful and competent but as having learned to stop and consider actions and consequences prior to reacting. That is done more by offering jurors some context for respecting the witness or party, rather than trying to train them to significantly change their response style. In other words, this time it has to be about teaching the jurors how to judge quality, rather than teaching the witness how to overcome the gender bias.

If you have not guessed by the title, it's another installment of 'things you want to know'. As we go through many articles to blog about, we discard many, keep a few, and collect tidbits we don't want to expend an entire post on but also don't want to toss. That is how you are gifted with these tidbits—interesting things you want (maybe) to know. Think of it as a jambalaya where you creatively incorporate leftovers from the refrigerator.
What do you know about science?
We've blogged before about the disturbing lack of knowledge we see in our mock jurors when it comes to science and technology. A new examination suggests that adults in the US are improving in science knowledge in over the past two decades. But (naturally) there is a catch. The study of American adults knowledge on general science is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and summarized here with correct answers to the questions courtesy of the Business Insider. Apparently, getting correct answers on the science quiz depends on how the question is worded. Let that be a lesson to you as you craft your next case narrative.
Yes, there are occasions when women like to be sexually objectified
In December 2014, we blogged about a video of a woman being harassed and whistled at that was presented as "research" and getting a lot of attention but was not particularly well done when looked at more closely by observers. So when we saw this article (citation at the bottom of the post), we thought of that video and the idea that for some reason, some men think that "cat-calling" a woman they do not know is going to be a good thing. These researchers note the conflicting literature in this area: on one hand there are articles that say women do not like being sexually objectified, but on the other hand, women spend a lot time of appearance (according to these researchers) that is meant to "enhance their sexual appeal". Naturally, these academics wanted to clear this up for all of us. What they found was that when women were in a committed relationship, they enjoyed a little objectification as long as it was from the person to whom they were committed. From other people? Not so much. Perhaps the cat-calling video makers should revisit those streets and hand out this article to all those cat-callers. We are quite sure that would stop the behavior altogether.
Who earns less money and is it all in your genes?
New research from the University of Exeter says if you are a short man or an overweight women—you earn less than those who are taller or slimmer. Is it due to discrimination? Perhaps, but the researchers looked at genetic data from almost 120,000 people between 40 and 70 years of age. Specifically, they examined "400 genetic variants" associated with height and "70 genetic variants" associated with body mass index (BMI). They compared these genetic variants (along with the actual height and weight of the people involved) to participant-provided information on their living situations and income. They found that shorter men and heavier women earned less than their taller and slimmer peers—and that was regardless of all other factors. The study is open-access and published in the British Medical Journal.
Are you green with Facebook envy or red with Twitter rage?
You've likely seen the studies that say spending a lot of time on Facebook decreases your overall well-being. A new article in Scientific American looks at some of the literature and says that when you react to Facebook posts, it is often with envy (especially if you read but do not comment or post yourself). The authors recommend that if you are going to spend time on Facebook, you do so by actively commenting and posting which will allegedly reduce your experience of Facebook envy.
After solving Facebook issues, the writers move on to Twitter (which we've also blogged about) and say that Twitter users who rant online often see it as cathartic even though those who read their angry tweets may simply see them as "Twitter ragers"—so common there are even self-help lists for surviving the attack of the ragers. The writers also comment that Twitter ragers are also likely to be angry and aggressive offline as well. That doesn't really come as a surprise to us at all.
Do you have a unibrow, gray hair or a bushy beard?
You can rest easier knowing it is all in your genes and product developers (as well as forensic scientists) are paying very, very close attention. While many genes are being discovered, the genes for the rate at which your hair goes gray, how bushy your beard or eyebrows are, or whether your eyebrows form a unibrow—have only just now been discovered. Apparently, forensic scientists want to use this information to figure out how to create images of criminal suspects when all they have is the suspect's DNA. Product developers are expected to use the genetic information to aid in new product development. And, believe it or not, hair growth patterns are related to some diseases so it is believed medical researchers can learn from this seemingly frivolous study as well.

We're unsure if this strategy would work for women but it seems to work for men—at least in medical schools and teaching hospitals. We do presume those male leaders with mustaches do not have the sort of mustache illustrating this post but what do we know? We also tend to believe that if a woman were to grow this sort of mustache, she would also not be selected to advance as a leader. But, we digress. On to the real point of this blog post.
Each year, the British Medical Journal publishes a Christmas issue where they offer a more light-hearted look at important issues of the day. We posted about one of their articles on Christmas Day. Here is another important paper that (alas) reflects what women know all too well when it comes to women in leadership. These researchers (two medical residents, a professor of law ,and a professor of dermatology) examined (carefully and presumably visually) "clinical department leaders (n=1018) at the top 50 US medical schools funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)" to see if they were male or female and whether they had mustaches. None of the women in the sample had a mustache. The researchers defined a mustache in the following way: "the visible presence of hair on the upper cutaneous lip" and they included the presence of both standalone mustaches and mustaches in combination with other facial hair. They specifically did not include facial hair such as "mutton chops" or "chin curtains" as mustaches.
According to the researchers women accounted for only 13% of department leaders in the sample (137 women out of 1,018 department leaders).
Leaders with mustaches (none of them, as mentioned earlier, women) accounted for 19% of the sample (190/1,018 total leaders). And according to them, less than 15% of men in the country have mustaches so mustached men are over-represented among medical department leadership. .
The proportion of female leaders ranged from 0% to 26% across institutions and from 0% to 36% across specialties.
Only seven specific institutions and five specialties had more than 20% of female department leaders.
The researchers developed a novel unit of measure called the mustache index. (Essentially this is computed by looking at the number of mustached leaders versus the number of female leaders.) "The overall mustache index of all academic medical departments studied was 0.72 (p<.004). In other words, a medical department is much more likely to be led by a man with a mustache than by a woman. Only six of 20 separate medical specialties had "more women than mustaches" (for a mustache index > 1).
The researchers recommend that "mustachioed" individuals should number less than the number of women in medical department leadership (and they state they clearly do not mean a "no mustache" policy). They want to call attention to the disparity in these leadership positions between men and women—hence the tongue-in-cheek "mustache index". They offer a number of suggestions to help increase the number of women in leadership positions that revolve around developing job criteria prior to evaluating candidates, flexible work schedules as well as increased personal control over work time and cite the high levels of satisfaction among women physicians in specialties that allow "controllable lifestyle" such as dermatology and anesthesiology.
From a litigation perspective, this really applies most to law office management and we've written before about the importance of hiring practices that do not discriminate against applicants by gender or race and ethnicity (as well as other descriptive characteristics). You can see all those posts by looking at our blog category on law office management. Do a quick count in your own office. Do leaders with mustaches outnumber leaders who are women?

MARY JO MODICA: Hydrangea tips from a professional
Published: Monday, November 10, 2003 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 9, 2003 at 11:00 p.m.
Last week, public garden professionals and lovers of gardening from around the state gathered at Alabama's newest public garden, Aldridge Gardens in Hoover. The purpose of the meeting was to kick off the Alabama Travel and Tourism Bureau's "Year of Alabama Gardens" and to acquaint gardeners with the many public gardens throughout the state.
The event was a "who's who" of Alabama gardeners, garden writers and nurserymen. To start the day, Calhoun County Extension Agent Hayes Jackson regaled the audience with accounts of his travels to China, India, Japan, Korea and Guatemala searching for new plants suited to Alabama's climate. He tantalized us with tales of tropical plants growing as perennials in his 7-acre trial garden in Anniston. The news from Jackson that he is growing cold tolerant oranges, lemons and other citrus created a great deal of excitement.
Keynote speaker was former host of "The Victory Garden," Jim Wilson, who discussed the how-tos of gardening in containers. His slides of containers growing in public and private gardens around the world and his practical, step-by-step approach to planting made growing a billowing display of flowers seem effortless.
The person whom I found most fascinating was Eddie Aldridge, long time Alabama nurseryman and the donor of Aldridge Gardens. Aldridge, a renowned grower of hydrangeas, was a member of a panel charged with answering the questions they are most frequently asked. Aldridge focused on hydrangeas, navigating the mysteries of their culture in an elegant and understandable way. I took copious notes in hopes of passing along his wisdom.
November is the best month to plant or transplant hydrangeas in Alabama. Give them an Eastern exposure with morning sun and afternoon shade. The exception to this rule is hydrangea paniculata "Grandiflora." PeeGee's, as they are affectionately known, can tolerate heat and up to 80 percent full sun.
Hydrangeas prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil and should be fed with a controlled release fertilizer containing minor elements.
The most effective way to manipulate color in hydrangea macrophylla, the mopheads or lacecaps, is to incorporate sphagnum peat moss into the soil to develop blue flowers, or to treat the soil with lime to turn the flowers pink.
Perhaps the most confusing aspect of hydrangea culture is their pruning. Our native oak leaf hydrangeas rarely need to be pruned. The PeeGee's and H. arborescens ("Annabelle" is the most famous of these) bloom on new growth and can tolerate heavy pruning. Aldridge suggests pruning them in March or April.
The blue or pink-flowered mopheads flower on the old growth. Prune them in June by selectively removing one-third of the canes from the base of the plant.
Aldridge's recipe for dried hydrangea blossoms is to cut the stems when the flowers are almost dry, around July 1, remove all the leaves and set them in bucket with about 3 inches of water. Leave them in a cool spot for 10 days for the most natural looking flowers.
Another member of the panel was executive director of the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Fred Spicer. He will be in Tuscaloosa on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in the County Extension auditorium and will speak on one of his favorite topics, "Big Trees." The event is free and open to the public.
Mary Jo Modica is horticulturist at the University of Alabama Arboretum. She can be reached at email@example.com.

As his love for the music grew, so did the eager to make his own hardstyle music. His first try to make some hardstyle melodies was together with a friend of his at highschool. It didn't go much further than that because of the school work there wasn't much time left for making music, and certainly not with a cheap laptop. His first expirience with a real hardstyle producer was earlier this year. A guy known buy the name Erazer gave him some basics about making a lead for an hardstyle track and after that he knew it, hardstyle is his passion and he wanted to make more of that by his own.

The tax man cometh: Last-minute tax filing tips
PHOENIX — The tax filing deadline is looming and that means many will be scrambling to meet Tuesday's cutoff.
Bill Brunson, spokesman with the IRS, recommends last-minute filers use online services to file and for several important reasons.
"That electronically filed tax return won't let you make a math error," he said. "(It) won't let you claim a dependent on a return without a social security number…it just does all those checks and balances for you."
Brunson said more than 85 percent of Arizonans now use online programs and they have much greater accuracy when filing. On average, roughly 13 percent of paper filings have errors, he said.
Common mistakes include incorrect postage, claiming the wrong filing status, partners forgetting to sign on a joint return and mathematical errors, Brunson said.
"You still have time to file, and if you are going to file, choose to file electronically," he said.
The IRS even allows people to file for free online using their website.
If filers are running behind and might not make the deadline, Brunson said it's important to request an extension to save on penalties.
"If you have monies that you're going to owe and you request the extension to file, then you would be assessed a late-paying penalty," Brunson said. "But you would not be assessed a late-filing penalty, because you requested the extension to file."
Requesting an extension allows for an extra six months to submit paperwork and the fee for a late payment is only half a percent, compared to the 5 percent fee for failing to file.
Brunson said out of the 2.8 million tax returns expected to be filed by Arizonans this year, the IRS expects 270,500 people to seek filing extensions.
All filings or requests for extension are due by midnight Tuesday.

President Obama has been criticized for refusing to call a terrorist group that claims Islam "radical Islam terrorist."

Judge admits HE leaked details of Charlize Theron's adoption in series of racist and sexist anonymous comments on online forum
- Circuit Judge Mike Maggio admitted to being behind a series of racist, sexist and inappropriate messages on an LSU message board
- He also revealed actress Charlize Theron's adoption, two months before she publicly announced the information in 2012
- The dad-of-five also made offensive remarks about a 'woman's role' and likened bestiality to sex in the LGBT community
- Maggio, 52, ended his campaign for a seat on the Court of Appeals
Apology: Circuit Judge Mike Maggio has admitted posting confidential case information online
An Arkansas judge has admitted to posting a series of anonymous online comments, including ones that divulged secret information about Charlize Theron's adoption of her son.
Circuit Judge Mike Maggio, 52, acknowledged on Wednesday that he also posted comments that are racist, sexist and offensive towards the LGBT community over the past several years.
Maggio, who also ended his campaign for a seat on the Arkansas Court of Appeals on Wednesday, made the comments on a Louisiana State University fan message board, under the name 'geauxjudge'.
Comments in January 2012 divulged details of Theron's adoption two months before she publicly released the information, while others talked about women in a derogatory way and another likened bestiality to sex in the transgender and gay communities.
'I take full responsibility for the comments that have been attributed to me,' Maggio, a father-of-five, said in a statement. 'I apologize deeply for my lapse in personal judgment and for that, I have no excuse. The comments posted were not acceptable. These comments are not a reflection of who I am.'
The state's Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission is investigating Maggio's postings, said its executive director, David Sachar.
Maggio, whose term as a 20th Judicial District judge expires this year, asked for privacy for his family. He has three sons and two daughters from a previous relationship and lives with his partner, Dawn.
Revealed: He divulged that Charlize Theron had adopted a son two months before she announced it publicly in 2012. She is pictured in 2013 with the boy, Jackson, whom she adopted from South Africa
Confidential: Postings on the website TigerDroppings.com show him discussing confidential information
Offensive: He provided the details about her adoption in January 2012 - 2 months before it was public
He didn't immediately respond to an email or phone message left at his office.
Political blogger Matt Campbell first suggested that 'geauxjudge' was Maggio in a Monday posting on his website, Blue Hog Report.
He included screen grabs of 'geauxjudge' postings from the past few years, including some that dropped biographical hints that led to his identification.
In a January 17, 2012, posting, he disclosed what he said were details of Theron's adoption case - two months before she publicly revealed she had adopted a son, Jackson, from South Africa.
Concerning opnions: Maggio, who has five children, is pictured with his partner, Dawn, left and right
Bowing out: On Wednesday, he ended his campaign for a seat on the Arkansas Court of Appeals
Inappropriate: He made offensive remarks about how people's names determine if they are criminals
said a 'judge friend' handled the case, before admitting that he was also
involved in the case. When a poster asked if she had adopted a black
child, he said that she had.
Such proceedings are confidential in Arkansas, and there are no cases in the state's online court records that mention Theron's name. Her publicist, Amanda Silverman, declined to comment.
In a June 2011 posting, 'geauxjudge' suggested that women who seek divorces after their husbands cheat may be better off financially by staying married. In Arkansas, circuit judges like Maggio handle divorce cases, among other civil and criminal casework.
'I see it everyday,' he wrote. 'A woman makes (an) emotional decision to divorce because the husband stepped out. When otherwise he was a good provider, father, and husband.
'Then a year or two later realizes uh oh I am worse off financially, emotionally and relationship wise but hey they showed that SOB. Too many times the women get their advice from other divorced women.'
Cruel: Maggio also made sexist remarks (top) and compared bestiality to 'TBBLBS sex' an apparent reference to transgender, gay, lesbian or bisexual sex (bottom). He has admitted to the remarks
In another, he made derogatory comments about women, saying they needed to take care of a man's two basic needs for sex and food, adding: 'It takes two to pull the wagon'.
In a posting from last December about baby names, 'geauxjudge' wrote about the effect a name can have on an individual's success, the website reported.
'How many Doctors do you hear named Dr. Taneesha or HaHa?' he wrote, apparently referring to Ha'Sean 'Ha Ha' Clinton-Dix, a black University of Alabama football player.
'How many bankers do (you) hear named Brylee? So stick with something close to normal. Or come sit in criminal court any day and see the "common names".'
Responding to a story about a woman who was arrested for allegedly having sex with a dog, 'geauxjudge' wrote that it was 'just a small step' from having 'TGGLBS' sex, an apparent reference to transgender, gay, lesbian or bisexual sex.

I resolve to stage a revolt against making New Year's resolutions. I've had it with them; they don't work for me. The New Year is still in infancy, and I've already broken 75 percent of my resolutions.
It's not that I didn't try; I just forgot. The pressure of the moment distracted my attention from keeping the resolution.
Take my first resolution, for example. I read that being impatient can lead to hypertension. I tend to be impatient, and I don't want hypertension. "Patience," I said to myself as I stood in line at the grocery store a couple of days before New Year's, tapping my foot as I wondered if the next line was moving faster, "Patience is something I could work on." Thus, resolution number one: be more patient; don't sweat the small stuff. Since Lori and I had already planned to be away during New Year's, I would have a nice, relaxed atmosphere to begin my first resolution. On the morning of Jan. 1, I took my time as Lori and I casually walked to the breakfast buffet. I was silently complimenting myself on how well I was doing on resolution number one when Lori informed me she had forgotten the breakfast coupons — part of the weekend package with our hotel. "You forgot the coupons?" I grimaced. That initial, suppressed grimace was followed by a bigger, more obvious one when the hostess told me there was a 45-minute waiting list, and that I would have to check at the front desk about the possibility of reclaiming the breakfast vouchers. Glancing at the long line at the hotel registration desk, I grumbled to Lori, "I'll wait in line while you see if you can remember where you put the breakfast coupons." When Lori couldn't find them, I decided to conduct a thorough and proper search myself, and voila, I found them…in the cabinet on my side of the bed. "Oops." I kinda forgot I put them there.
So much for resolution number one.
Getting the proper amount of sleep, I have been told, is essential to our health. My 5-6 hours of sleep a night isn't adequate, I concluded. Thus, resolution number two: get more sleep. I proudly announced to Lori on New Year's Day — after apologizing for breaking resolution number one, of course — "I'm going to bed early tonight." That was a bold statement for me, and one I had to promptly retract when I remembered that my OU Sooners played in the Fiesta Bowl that very night, and that the broadcast didn't begin until 8:30 p.m. So, there I was, whooping and hollering my team to victory at 12:30 a.m. And preachers can't sleep in on Sunday mornings, you know.
So much for resolution number two.
Resolution number three: maintain a more healthy diet, went down with the New Year's breakfast buffet, as did resolution number four, cut back on my caffeine consumption. (Free refills came with the buffet, what was I to do?) I'm managing to chase resolution number five: read through the Bible again this year, although I'm already 8 chapters behind. Resolution number six: cash instead of credit — good, except for the gas card. Resolution number seven, journal each day — already days behind, although I have at least located my journal; resolution number eight: have a book proposal ready by March 1 — I'm working on it. And number nine, read at least one hour a day — I'm on it. Resolution number 10 — stop the nervous habit of picking my fingernails — was lost in the excitement of the OU game.
There you have it: as far as I can figure, I'm only hitting .250 to .300 on my resolutions. But wait a minute: Isn't the highest career professional baseball batting average Ty Cobb's? And isn't his record a "mere" .366? That means that almost 60 percent of the time, when he stepped up to the plate, he didn't get a hit. And that's the best career average ever!
So maybe I don't need to start a resolution revolution after all. Maybe the revolution I need is a continuation of the good in what I have resolved, not a cessation of the goal itself. As John Norcross, psychology professor at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania said recently in The Wall Street Journal, "Keeping a resolution isn't a 100-yard dash. It's a marathon."
That's it: a marathon. In a marathon, I can get bumped to the side and even trip and fall and still get back up and finish the race in respectable fashion. And somehow in the running of the race, I can feel like a revolutionary, a revolutionary because I resolved to persevere, and even though I may finish with a limp, I nonetheless can cross the finish line, aiming for a goal far beyond 2011.

Condition Care Guide
What is endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a non-cancerous condition in which tissue that normally lines a woman's uterus appears elsewhere in the body, particularly on the fallopian tubes, ovaries, rectum, bladder, and other pelvic tissues.
What are the symptoms?
Endometriosis can range from mild to severe, and some women with the condition don't experience any symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they can include:
- Painful periods
- Lower abdominal pain, either during menstruation or at any time
- Lower back pain
- Pain with bowel movements
- Menstrual irregularities, including spotting and heavy bleeding during periods.
Eventually, this misplaced tissue can cause scarring in the fallopian tubes and ovaries, and a complication of the condition is infertility.
Misplaced endometrial tissue responds to the same hormones produced by the ovaries as does normal endometrial tissue found in the uterus. Consequently, the misplaced tissue may bleed in these remote locations during menstruation and often causes cramps and pain. The actual amount of tissue misplaced doesn't determine how severe the symptoms are. Some women with a large amount of tissue feel no discomfort, while others with even a small amount of misplaced tissue experience severe pain.
What are the causes?
Endometriosis occurs when uterine tissue (known as endometrium) grows outside the uterus on other pelvic organs. Although the exact cause is still unknown, some researchers believe endometriosis may be triggered by endometrial cells loosened during menstruation "backing up" through the fallopian tubes into the pelvis, a process called retrograde menstruation. Other theories hold that endometriosis involves a faulty immune system, hormones, or genetic factors.
Who is likely to develop endometriosis?
Endometriosis can occur in any menstruating woman but is most common in those who have not had children, have their first child after age 30, and those who have short menstrual cycles (less than 27 days). It occurs less frequently in women who have given birth several times, who use low dose oral birth control, and who exercise regularly.
During pregnancy, endometriosis may go into remission temporarily (and sometimes permanently). Endometriosis tends to resolve itself after menopause because hormone levels decrease.
How is endometriosis diagnosed?
Physicians diagnose endometriosis by asking the patient about her symptoms and performing a pelvic exam. In addition, they may conduct other tests, such as:
- Blood tests, which can detect a certain protein produced by women with endometriosis
- Laparoscopy, a minor surgical procedure in which a doctor inserts a thin viewing tube through the abdomen to view the pelvic organs
- Ultrasound, which uses sound waves to produce images of the pelvis.
What is the conventional treatment?
Conventional treatment of endometriosis depends on the severity of symptoms, a woman's age, and her desire to have children. Treatments include:
- Pain management. Over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen may help ease menstrual cramps.
- Oral contraceptives. These drugs help control levels of hormones linked to endometriosis and can make periods shorter and lighter.
- Anti-ganadotropin drugs. These drugs block the production of ovarian-stimulating hormones, which lowers estrogen levels and shrinks abnormal tissue. However, they can also create an artificial menopause and may cause side effects like hot flashes.
- Surgery. Laparoscopic surgery can remove abnormal tissue without removing a woman's reproductive organs, but the tissue frequently grows back and may require repeated procedures.
- Hysterectomy. In severe cases, doctors may recommend hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). Sometimes the ovaries are also removed. This is effective but drastic, and only recommended as a last resort for women who do not wish to become pregnant.
What therapies does Dr. Weil recommend for endometriosis?
Dr. Weil recommends the following approaches for treating endometriosis:
- Eat an anti-inflammatory diet.
- Eliminate dairy foods entirely for three weeks. Read labels carefully and avoid all foods containing whey, casein, and cow's milk or milk protein, because of the estrogenic hormones they may contain, (naturally occurring as well as artificial).
- Eat only hormone-free meat to avoid any additional estrogen exposure.
- Avoid soy foods if you have not been eating them regularly; they are mildly estrogenic.
- Avoid alcohol (it affects how estrogen is metabolized in the body).
- Choose organic foods whenever possible.
- Experiment with traditional Chinese medicine.
- Take omega-3 fatty acid supplements. Start with one gram a day and increase the dose gradually - by one gram a week - to three to four grams daily.
- Try the herb dong quai (Angelica sinensis), three to four grams daily, for its anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic effects. (Women with very heavy periods should avoid dong quai since it can make menstrual bleeding worse.)
- Try whole licorice extracts, which can be helpful for inflammatory disorders; experiment with peony (Paeonia officinalis), which can help relieve menstrual cramps.
- Guided imagery or hypnosis can also be of great value.
- Drink a cup or two of red raspberry leaf tea daily to relieve cramps.
- Take 500 mg of supplemental calcium and 250 mg of magnesium daily.
- Try chaste tree herb (Vitex), a general tonic for the female reproductive system. Use 240 mg a day of an encapsulated extract standardized to 0.6 percent aucubine. (Women on birth control pills or taking other hormonal drugs shouldn't use chaste tree.)

Nirvana Fans Mark 20th Anniversary of Cobain's Death
Posted April 5th, 2014 @ 3:39pm by KFBK News
Kurt Cobain remains one of music's most influential artists despite being dead for 20 years.
The troubled Nirvana frontman died on this date in 1994 from a self-inflicted shotgun wound.
The band is set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Thursday.
Seattle police recently released previously unseen photos taken at the scene of his death, fueling speculation from conspiracy theorists of whether Cobain actually committed suicide.

New CD with Caravaggio's music
Our new CD "Princeps music" contain a monograph on Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, the best Renaissance composer, and an exclusive reconstruction of the song painted by Caravaggio in the famous picture "Fuga in Egitto".
Hello there, We are visiting Rome from New Zealand, and we were privileged to attend two concerts of Operamnia 17 and 19 October. Each event was unique and we loved every minute. It was special to be able to enjoy the music in context and to be informed and to experience the setting and the authentic instruments. We appreciated the skilfulness of the musicians, but also their willingness to engage with the audience and to involve them in the presentation. We have purchased the CD to take home with us and we will enjoy listening to it while we remember these to unique concerts. Thank you. Kind regards
In April this year, it was my pleasure to hear a wonderful performance of renaissance and baroque music at the Palazzo Barberini featuring Stefano Sabene and his wonderful colleagues from the Roma Opera Omnia. If any of you are passing through Rome it is well worth a visit to the Palace which is home to the works of Raphael and Caravaggio and check the web for concert details.
We went to a one hour concert at Sant'Agnese at the Piazza Navona to listen to some music from "Bernini's Rome". This was a baroque music concert with both singing and instrumental works. There was a narrator who gave background information in English. The performers were excellent and it was a treat to listen to the music inside this church. The acoustics are superb. It was a pleasant, cool experience with excellent performances and overall a very relaxing way to spend some evening time.
We don't like guided tours very much, but this was different. It found place in the stunning Pallazzo Doria Pamfiji, on a saturday eleven o'clock, among history and art from the past. Our learned guide told us about some of the most interesting paintings, followed by the musicians, playing and singing as in the time of Caravaggio, in a very serious and professional way. We'll never forget it, and I think that the music also gave us a deeper understanding of the paintings, among them fantastic works of Velazguez and Carravaggio.
on saturday 28th of april we had an impresssing guided tour in the Doria Pamhilj Palace with a beautiful live concert of the Schola Romana Ensemble performing on instruments from the Caravaggio age. High artistic quality of all the musicians!! As a souvenir of this concert we bought a cd called Ardo d'amore with more examples of contemporary composers from renaissance/baroque era. We warmly recommend anybody, visiting Rom, who loves painting art as well as music to participate to this sound and vision tour.
The art and music in the beautiful Barberini Palazzo was a wonderful combination of art and music and a lovely experience. The art historian was excellent in her knowledge and presentation. Thank you!
Wonderfull music in a wonderfull surrouning!
I want to thank, you and your group for the concert on March 30 at Doria Pamphilj. Obviously the best day in Rome we enjoyed! When you are singing the first song, my eyes full with tears, very very enthusiastic for me! Thank you very much, gorgeous soprano :) My next visit is going to be especially for listening to you.
Dear Paola, I am writing to thank you very much for your assistance in booking your wonderful performance earlier this month. Congratulations on producing such an enjoyable musical experience in such a beautiful venue! I will certainly be in touch for future groups. Thank you again and Happy Easter!
It was a unique experience! Interesting and moving.
Ho avuto il piacere di assistere ad una presentazione di oggi. E' stato semplicemente meraviglioso! Grazie.
Dear Paola, The concert and tour was excellent! We all enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately we leave early Thursday so we can't make your next concert. Thank you very much for today, Regards, Amanda
beautiful church, and music!
It was very special to listen to your music but also your entousiast guide.
Ottimo il repertorio e bravissimi gli interpreti.
Thank you again for the two lovelly serenades you gave us in this beautifull place! I would dream to make you do the same thing in our lovelly manors here in Britany...why not?

The conversion from texi to HTML left something to be desired. The web page has some major deviations from the postscript version that is created by running texi through tex.
1) No images show up. I put them all into a sub-directory, images, which was parsed correctly by tex.
2) The multitable, used is the tableau summary is grocked but it worked in texi->ps
3) The math mode doesn't work
4) Line skip commands @sp x seem to be translated literally
Are there texi experts that can provide advice for overcoming these issues?

What a day, after four days of fairly consistent dry weather the heavens opened up on race day, sections that were once inches deep in dust were now slick and fast running. Bets were laid on and changed all over again as weather became the deciding factor.
There was a major upset in U19's women with Kellie Wienert taking the win from Gemma Greentree with Danni Beecroft in third as she and Tegan Molloy both battled to save their race runs after flatting out in the start of their runs. In U19's Dean Lucas took the win much to his own surprise from Thomas Crimmins and Aiden Varley.
In Elite Women, Tracey Hannah surprised herself edging out local Caroline Buchanan for the Australian title, Lisa Mathison fell into third.
In Elite Men it was a brother sister double act and another win for the new Polygon team, with Mick Hannah muscling the field to take the win almost two seconds up on Jared Graves in second. Sam Hill rallied for third which could possibly be his best result on a track he notably dislikes.
